What can we all doto help protect our waterways?

There are many things each of us can do to help reduce nutrient and sediment pollution entering Delaware’s waterways. Our efforts will not only help protect the environment, but in many cases, when you lend a hand to protect our waterways, you will also find that you’re adding beauty to your yard, saving energy, cutting landscape maintenance costs, and boosting property values.

Below you can find a list of publications that will explain why it's important to protect our waterways, and how you can help. Browse through brochures, watch new videos, and don't forget to visit the Water Friendly Interactive House by the Appoquinimink River Association to the right.
